Question 1. What is multilevel disc dissication?, 2. What does central and left paracentral disc protrusion at L5/S1 indenting the thecal sac mean?
Answer 1. This is not common terminology...you spelled it right? I would guess it means your intervertebral disc are breaking down a bit or dehydrating at multiple levels.
2. you have a "slipped disc" and it's location could cause you pain down your legs/buttocks/low back
